COAST MEETS COMFORT

THE OUTDOOR HEATED pool is the perfect spot to soak up summer sunshine.

 

We visit Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park, a perfect balance of seaside adventure, on-park facilities, and mopdern accommodation...

Located on the eastern coastline of the Isle of Wight and just a short ferry ride from the mainland, Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park is a destination that blends natural beauty with family-friendly fun.

Operated by Away Resorts, the park has established itself as one of the island’s most inviting spots for holidaymakers looking for a mix of seaside relaxation, outdoor adventure, and entertainment on tap.

Whether visiting for a short break or a longer summer getaway, guests quickly discover that Whitecliff Bay is more than just a holiday park – it’s an experience that leaves lasting memories.

A LOCATION LIKE NO OTHER
The park’s crown jewel is undoubtedly its secluded sandy beach. Accessible only through the park or via a coastal path, this stretch of golden shoreline offers the kind of tranquillity and exclusivity that’s rare in today’s busy holiday destinations.

Families can spend hours here paddling in the surf, building sandcastles, or simply enjoying the views across the English Channel. For couples or solo travellers, the beach provides a serene escape, particularly at sunrise or sunset when the cliffs glow with a distinctive hue that gives Whitecliff Bay its name.

FOUR-LEGGED GUESTS are greeted with their very own welcome pack

ACCOMMODATION FOR EVERY STYLE AND BUDGET
One of Whitecliff Bay’s greatest strengths is the range of accommodation available. From exclusive luxury lodges equipped with hot tubs and contemporary interiors, to classic caravans, chalets, and camping pitches for those who prefer a more back-to-nature experience, there’s something for every type of visitor.

Families often gravitate towards spacious lodges with modern kitchens and open-plan living areas, while younger groups and couples enjoy the flexibility of affordable chalets and caravans. Campers are well-catered for too, with well-maintained pitches and access to on-site facilities, making it easy to combine a traditional camping holiday with the perks of a full-service holiday park.

A WEALTH OF FACILITIES
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park doesn’t just rely on its stunning location to keep guests entertained. The facilities on offer rival those of larger resorts, giving visitors plenty to do whatever the weather. The indoor pool, complete with flume, is a family favourite, while the outdoor heated pool is perfect for lazy summer afternoons.

Younger children love the adventure playground, and the crazy golf course provides light-hearted competition for all ages. The arcade and on-site launderette ensure practical needs are met, while the bike hire service opens up a world of exploration, allowing guests to discover the island’s scenic cycling routes.

A well-stocked shop and welcoming reception make daily life on the park straightforward, while the on-site bar and club deliver entertainment and dining options that extend the holiday mood long into the evening.

A coastal escape where relaxation meets adventure!

FOOD, DRINK, AND ENTERTAINMENT
No holiday is complete without good food and lively entertainment, and Whitecliff Bay delivers on both counts. The bar and club are the social hubs of the park, offering everything from family-friendly performances and themed evenings to more relaxed dining experiences.

During peak holiday periods, Away Resorts often organises special entertainment programmes, with activities ranging from live music and kids’ clubs to outdoor cinema screenings. It’s this sense of community and vibrancy that makes a stay here feel like much more than just a trip away – it’s a chance to immerse yourself in a ready-made holiday atmosphere.

EXPLORING THE ISLE OF WIGHT
While the park offers more than enough to keep families busy, its location makes it an ideal base for exploring the wider Isle of Wight. Just a short drive away, visitors can discover iconic landmarks such as Bembridge Windmill, the Isle of Wight Zoo, and the dramatic Culver Down.

The island is known for its mild climate, scenic countryside, and abundance of attractions, from historic castles to adventure parks, making it a destination in its own right. With bike hire available on site, even car-free holidays are made easy, allowing guests to enjoy the island at a leisurely pace.

WHETHER IT’S A LUXURY LODGE with a hot tub or a cosy caravan, there’s accommodation for every style occasion

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES, COUPLES, AND GROUPS
Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park strikes a balance that appeals to a broad audience. Families love the safe beach, pools, and child-friendly facilities; couples enjoy the romantic coastal setting and peaceful walks; and groups of friends find plenty of opportunities for fun, whether on the beach, in the bar, or exploring the island together.

The variety of accommodation ensures that everyone, from luxury-seekers to budget-conscious travellers, feels at home. Whitecliff Bay Holiday Park on the Isle of Wight encapsulates the best of the British seaside holiday tradition while offering modern comforts and a wide range of facilities.

Its stunning private beach sets it apart, while its excellent accommodation, family-friendly activities, and vibrant entertainment make it a destination that keeps guests coming back year after year.
